When I think of Harriet Carter catalogs, I will never not immediately think of Toilet Golf. This is the one product above all others that has left the biggest impression on me.

Project done. Signed out, said goodbyes. It's always a kind of hollow shock, even when I'm leaving a job well done.

We have probably less than an hour left until work runs out on this project. Then I just have to do some evals, clean up my files, and then...I don't even know what to do with myself 😆

#TheVictorianBookoftheDead A fascinating hairwork scene of a tomb with weeping willow and cedar tree, to be displayed in the parlor under a glass dome. It commemorates Sophie Henri, aged 21 years, died 9 July 1887, seen in the photograph next to the dome. www.themagazineantiques.com/article/trim...

They say autistic folx lack emotion. That are trying to measure our facial expressions, not our hearts. Many of us feel others’ pain so hard we can’t speak thru it - and the silence got scored as coldness. The deficit isn’t with us. It’s with the grace not given.

Murderbot, BUT, wyth a good laywer? Manslaughter Android

Weirde & obscure wordes are not an elitist control thinge. Thei have hidden all thys tyme, & thei carrye wyth them great poweres & unforeseen futures. Wordes you have to looke up are wordes that businesse hath not bent ynto sad smooth chains to harness desyre. Lookinge up wordes ys rebellion.

A doorway of delight at Kilfenora, County Clare. The church (also called the cathedral) is home to some stunning early medieval high crosses featuring Romanesque and Celtic motifs. #AdoorableThursday

Chessie has a (plastic) water fountain and a bowl of still water I wash and refill every morning. She's loved her fountain ever since I got one for her. However, when I had to keep a full 5 gal bucket in the bathroom the past 2 months bc they shut off our water daily (old building, badly needed...

Snack time!

The casino across the street wants to know if we want to go halfsies on a casino riverboat. They claim it’s legit but we live no where near a river to verify.

Student claims cars "way back in the 1980s" were made of wood. 😆 I love me a classic woodie, but pretty sure the actual wood on station wagons was phased out decades before Prince ever had a hit single.

"Other English gentlemen have stolen before now, and been covered by legal and political protection; and the West also has its own way of covering theft with sophistry." GK Chesterton, 1927

Why does the Bodleian have pictures of people and their pets? And why do we want your photos?

The best accommodation isn’t always a tool. Sometimes it’s another human being who believes you the first time.

At 2 pm, meet our science communicators in the main amphitheatre! Clyde and Mariam will answer your nature and ecology questions, from "Can we eat Bigfoot?" to "May we eat Bigfoot?”

None of us needs a follow so desperately that we tacitly accept the encroaching awfulness of AI, accept a follow and disregard solidarity with our fellow artists whose work has been stolen. None of us. AI most often means Arseholes Involved. Please don't be an arsehole.

We report: the sky speaks of vanishing patterns, past conditions of humidity and wind shear. They only remain in washed up waves of cirrocumulus. Lately, we find it difficult to interpret the movements of the clouds as we usually would. Signs of change instead induce stillness.

The maddening thing about insomnia isn't being awake and knowing you'll be dragging the next day. It's that, without fail, you'll get sleepy 10 min before your alarm is set to go off.

These two shifty sleuths first adorned the screen twenty years ago #OTD 7 July 2006!

buying books and reading books are different hobbies

Good morning, Neverland! Unfortunately, after a week of cooler temps the heat is set to return today. But at least the skybooms are mostly over for now.

I grow old...I grow old ... I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

We report: when we get to the shore in the blue hour, the gulls pay us no mind, their shrieks too loud in our morning ears. The sand under our feet is dry, but feels liquid for how cold it is. The sky is opaque, waiting for some pink to bleed through in the next half hour.

This is what happens when you let Pauly Shore do your hair.

When you find a room of chained books in Weychester Cathedral that isn't marked in the official guide book, you hope you've found its fabled Black Library. Of course, all you've discovered is that the Deanery is baiting traps for cathedral crawlers. Tricky pricks. – #MattAdams

An English Bluebell a day until I run out of photos #46

People who don’t wither as soon as the mercury rises above 20 degrees Celsius are having an absolute blast, it has been rumoured.

There are paths around White Leaf where shadows move against the sun, dance to something other than the breeze. Paths where you risk walking out of time's normal flow. Mystically aligned say the ley hunters. Faery-bordered say the locals. A statistical anomaly for missing persons say the police.

Also if you blow off any appendages while inside the park, they legally belong to us.

Hey! My first evidence that Charles Dance was, in fact, young at some point! (Feels like this guy has been around, and old, for my entire life 😂)

Chessie began demanding breakfast around 4am. Dragged up to feed her at 6; thought I might cook a pack of bacon and do some chores while still cool. Nope - body said back to bed.
